Full Contact Poker Makes Use of New Poker Network with More Expected to Follow

Major online poker companies have joined together to create a new site network that will accept online poker players from the US.

Full Contact Poker was the first online poker company to make the beta available. Expected to come out with it next are Americas Cardroom and Alamo Poker, but it's believed that it might take a few weeks before they have access to the software.

It has been reported that the poker software is similar to the Ongame software that PokerRoom.com made use of. Many gambling sites left Ongame after the effects of the new US anti-gambling law, in pursuit of a new software provider that would allow them to accept US players.

The new poker network has not been named yet, but it is already in place. It will have its work cut out for it if PokerStars is to make use of its technology. PokerStars has quickly become the leading online poker room on the web because of its acceptance of US players.

However, there's bad news for Mac users, as it has been reported that this new network is not Mac compatible.

"This is a huge loss to us Mac users," said one Mac player from the US. Mac users will now have no choice but to stick with the one major brand that has Mac capabilities.
